Drop the Ball

Product Description

For women, a glass ceiling at work is not the only barrier to success - it's also the emotional labour at home. Women have become accustomed to delegating, advocating and negotiating for themselves at the office, but when it comes to managing households, they still bear the brunt on their own shoulders. A simple solution is staring them in the face- negotiate with the men in their personal lives. In Drop The Ball, Tiffany Dufu urges women to embrace imperfection, to expect less of themselves and more from others - enabling them to flourish at work and develop deeper, more meaningful relationships at home.For women, a glass ceiling at work is not the only barrier to success - it's also the emotional labour at home.
